  • Experience leading cross-functional teams containing technical, operational, contractual, and financial personnel.
  • Ability to organize ambiguous or evolving customer requirements into structured plans, assigned responsibilities, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, negotiation, written communication, and executive-briefing skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify deteriorating program conditions, develop corrective-action plans, and lead teams through recovery.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and program scheduling or collaboration tools.
  • Project Management Professional certification or ability to obtain within six months of hire.

Desired:

  • Experience supporting classified research, development, engineering, production, or fielding programs.
  • Experience in one or more relevant mission areas, including RF systems, electronic warfare, SIGINT, communications, advanced electronics, cyber, sensing, or tactical mission systems.
  • Experience moving technology from prototype development through qualification, production, deployment, or operational sustainment.
  • Experience supporting Intelligence Community, USSOCOM, military-service, or other national-security customers.
  • Experience leading hardware, software, firmware, and systems-engineering activities within a common program structure.
  • Experience developing proposals, white papers, rough-order-of-magnitude estimates, bases of estimate, and contract-growth strategies.
